From Air France To ‘Train France’?
11 September 2008The airline has announced its intention to challenge Eurostar, whose monopoly comes to an end at the start of 2010, when new EU rail laws come into force.
Air France said: “‘It would seem logical to replace some air transport services with a rail transport solution so that we can continue to provide our customers with a global offer, meeting both their short-distance and intercontinental travel needs.'”
The carrier said its plans were in their early stages and that it had not yet worked out which routes it might run.
